Some physicists would say that all possible worlds actually exist, albeit in universes that we can never see or hear from.

Check your sense of reality at the door:
"Some say that as soon as we understand all of the complexities of this universe, it will immediately be replaced by an even more complicated universe. Others say that this has already happened." Douglas Adams
